Chapter 30: The Crossing (2)

"Crackle!"

In the rift of space-time where the energy storm was raging, two lightning bolts, one red and one white, were destroyed like dragons, biting tightly behind the first light cluster.

From time to time, the turbulence of time and space can faintly see Kallio's shining battle body.

"Drink!"

As if in a race against time, Xia Long looked at the red light that began to flash on his chest, and quickly galloped with the spherical shield, but he couldn't get rid of the two divine breaths that followed him like a shadow, and the distance was getting closer and closer.

The speed at which the turbulence of time and space and the aura of the gods spread very quickly, as if Xia Long was roasted on a fire, and there were bursts of burning pain from his back, and every time a small electric current hit the shield, it made the entire shield dim for a while.

Feeling that his body was becoming weaker and weaker under the erosion of the two divine powers, Xia Long's energy was fully opened, and as the black lines spread on his body, the speed exploded again, and he waved his hand to break through the turbulence of time and space.

"Boom!"

Unknown cosmic time and space, countless lightning bolts suddenly tore apart in the sky, and between the terrifying explosions, two huge thunderbolts in red and white, swirled and intertwined, falling straight into a mountainous area on the ground, and the anomaly in the sky also dissipated.

……

Nagano Prefecture's Central Alps, Kurodake Ruins Excavation Site, 2 p.m.

"Haruta, you're okay over there, right?"

"I'm okay here?"

"Professor, we're ready."

"Okay, let's get started."

Inside the illuminated cave of ancient ruins, members of the archaeological investigation team, led by a professor, carefully open a sarcophagus engraved with unknown ancient symbols.

Through the infrared night vision device, the group carefully observed the inside of the sarcophagus during the opening process, and found that it was an ancient dried corpse.

"Professor, this form of burial is obviously different from the burial rituals around the world."

"Hmm."

The man addressed as the professor swept his gaze over the dried corpse, from his costume to a strange belt around his waist.

Not only the ancient words on the outside, but even this dried corpse seems extremely mysterious......

"Professor," said one of the assistants, fearfully, "doesn't this ancient word mean that if you touch it casually, you will be cursed?" ”

"We've all touched," the professor instructed, "and you don't say it again, and move his hand a little." ”

"Yes."

As night fell, several trees were struck by lightning in a forest near the ruins, and the fractures were charred black, but fortunately there was no forest fire.

Directly below the trunk, Xia Long was lying among the fallen leaves of the earth and rocks, and the breath of the two gods of red and white was still intertwined and impacted back and forth, as if Xia Long's body was regarded as a battlefield, and it took a while to merge with Xia Long's own superdimensional energy, and it was silent to merge into Xia Long's body, leaving only the electric rays to wander and sizzle from time to time.

"Ugh."

Xia Long came to his senses, his fingers moved, and he grunted and grabbed the dirt on the ground.

The body seemed to be torn apart, and apart from the smell of earth in the mouth, there was only pain all over the body.

"How can this be ......"

Xia Long gritted his teeth and propped himself up, leaning against the trunk of the tree to check the situation, although he was a little weak, the injury was not too serious.

Surrounded by a dim mountain forest, there are still traces of thunder and lightning, and the two divine powers of the culprit do not know where they have gone.

"What is this place?"

Xia Long walked slowly with his hands on the trees, he didn't know if anyone had noticed the movement here, it was best to leave quickly no matter what.

"Uhhhhh——!h A clear scream suddenly sounded in the silence of the mountain forest, which was extremely harsh in the night.

"What's wrong?"

Xia Long stopped and looked in the direction where the voice came from.

It seemed that something terrible had happened, and the fearful cries of men and women reached Xia Long's ears intermittently, and someone could vaguely hear someone shouting for help.

Ignoring the exhaustion of his body, Xia Long endured the pain and hurried through the forest to a valley.

The sound came from the ancient ruins of the valley, growing in panic, as if someone had been killed.

"Damn!"

"Boom!" The sky was covered with dark clouds for some unknown reason, and it suddenly poured rain under the combination of thunder and lightning, and there seemed to be a strange energy aura around it.

Xia Long wiped the water droplets from his face, covered his chest and hurriedly ran through the rain curtain into the ruin cave, and soon followed the lights along the road to find the scene of the incident.

"Help! Help me! ”

The small space was filled with red lights, and the two members of the investigation team retreated to the corner in horror, and in front of the corpses of several members who had been killed, a humanoid monster that had never been seen before appeared in Xia Long's field of vision, which was almost like a bloody massacre.

"Stop!"

Seeing that the remaining two were about to be killed, Xia Long's face tightened, and he swooped over and smashed away the monster with all his might.

"Run!" Holding the monster and rolling to the side together, Xia Long hurriedly shouted at the two survivors in pain.

In the chaos, before the two of them could react and escape, the monster suddenly roared and broke free of Xia Long, and threw Xia Long out of the air with a huge force of his arm.

"Bang!"

Xia Long slammed into the instrument by the wall, and tumbled and fell to the two investigators, and in the frightened shouts of the two, the monster stepped over the messy ground, approaching the corner of the wall like a god of death, and the demon arm grabbed straight towards Xia Long.

"Hmm!"

The already injured body was even weaker at this time, Xia Long heard the exclamation of the investigators, raised his head with difficulty to look at the monster in the dim light, and before he could react, his neck suddenly tightened, and his body was directly lifted up by the monster and pressed against the cave wall.

An unprecedented feeling of weakness, the strength of the body seems to have dried up, and when I try to call it, I feel deep exhaustion one after another, but this monster that I don't know where it came from is not weak at all, and it can't be dealt with with by human strength alone.

"Ugh!" Xia Long clutched the fingers of the monster that was choking his neck, and the electric current at his wrist intertwined and spread, struggling to condense the last of his strength.

"Change...... Transform! ”

"Wow!"

When the monster attacked again, the light of Xia Long's arm burst out and the Silver Wing Evolution Instrument appeared, but it only lasted for a moment and did not wait for it to continue to take shape, but it suddenly collapsed and converged.

"How so?"

Xia Long's face changed, and before he could try his body again, he flew into the air and slammed into an overturned sarcophagus.

"Uhh

"Bang!" The dust was flying, and Xia Long fell along with the broken stones, and his chest was in sharp pain.

"How so?"

Xia Long's vision blurred at the wrist where the electricity was raging, stretched out his hand towards the monster in the slaughter, and the heavy drowsiness hit, and he could no longer support the muffled grunt and lost consciousness.

Zizi!

Between the intertwining of electricity, the two divine powers emerged again, condensing into a golden wing mark on the back of Xia Long's hand, flickering for a moment and quietly hidden, leaving only a shallow golden trace.

……

In the early morning of the next day, the ruins of Mt. Kuro, the deep mountain rescue team and the police rushed to the scene to investigate and search.

Outside the ruins was already in ruins, as if it had experienced a huge explosion, and it was a mess.

Last night, there was a series of anomalies in this area, the meteorological station observed thunder and lightning one after another, especially in the evening, the weather in the surrounding area changed bizarrely, rainstormed, and then there was an unprecedented electric shock, and the rescue team received a call for help from the archaeological survey team, the entire valley has been destroyed.

"The members of the investigation team in the ruins were brutally murdered, and only one young man who was not identified survived." The rescue captain explained to Kaoru Ichijo, a criminal police officer in Nagano Prefecture.

"And a survivor?"

"Yes, but the young man was badly injured and has been taken to the hospital now."
